It has been possible to maintain relative peace thanks to the Minsk
Group activity, President of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic Bako
Sahakyan said in an interview with Public Radio of Armenia.

“Azerbaijan is demonstrating ungratefulness by saying the Minsk Group
has exhausted itself, as it’s thanks to the relative peace maintained
by that Group that Azerbaijan reaches certain achievements,” he said.

Is it possible for the Minsk Group to be dissolved because of the
disagreements between the three co-chairing countries against the
background of Ukrainian events? Bako Sahakyan noted that they have
said in official statements over years that Armenia, Azerbaijan and
Artsakh should be grateful to the international community for their
efforts, since relative peace is maintained due to the activity of
the mediating mission. According to him, this relative peace is much
more preferable than large-scale war.

“We have a number of problems, which we have inherited from Soviet
times,” the President said, adding, however, that they will do their
best to make Artsakh a better place.
